Dr. Dopo Jam - Cruisin' at Midnite. 1981 Denmark

Dr. Dopo Jam's final effort Cruisin' at Midnite is a surprisingly very good album for such a late date (and the "red flag" warning of the title). Some really strong guitar, flute, synth, violin soloing, and electric piano drives most of the songs. Plus plenty of nice horn charts, also out of its time. And considering Dr. Dopo Jam's heritage, the goofball quotient is mercifully down, though not completely wiped clean. There's also a funky edge present - similar to some of the late 70's Kraut Fusion groups like Aera or To Be maybe. More for fusion fans than prog I'd submit.
